Article 4: A Local Ordinance to Protect Wetland Functions(B. Strommen, K. Cappiella, D. Hirschman, J. Tasillo, 2007). Outlines the key elements of an effective ordinance to protect wetlands from the indirect impacts of land development, and provides adaptable model ordinance language.

Article 3: Adapting Watershed Tools to Protect Wetlands (K. Cappiella, T. Schueler, J. Tasillo, T. Wright, 2005). Describes 37 techniques for protecting wetlands through local programs and ordinances.

Article 6: The Importance of Protecting Vulnerable Streams and Wetlands at the Local Level (K. Cappiella, L. Fraley-McNeal, 2007). Makes the case for expanded local protection of vulnerable streams and wetlands that may not be fully protected by state or federal law due to their perceived isolation from perennial or navigable waters. Also summarizes state and local approaches to closing this gap.

Article 2: Using Local Watershed Plans to Protect Wetlands (K. Cappiella, A. Kitchell, T. Schueler, 2006). Presents detailed methods for integrating wetland management into the local watershed planning process.

Article 5: The Next Generation of Stormwater Wetlands (K. Cappiella, L. Fraley-McNeal, M. Novotney, T. Schueler, 2008). This article revisits the design of stormwater wetland systems based on lessons learned from the field, and presents new concepts and design objectives for stormwater wetlands.

Article 1: Direct and Indirect Impacts of Urbanization on Wetland Quality (T. Wright, J. Tomlinson, T. Schueler, K. Cappiella, A. Kitchell, D. Hirschman, 2006). Reviews the direct and indirect impacts of urbanization on wetlands, and describes how impacts to wetlands affect watershed health.
